Sometimes, being belligerent, heavy and brutal does not a metal band make.

This collection of eleven heavy metal tracks, from the Coventry band OUT FOR BLOOD, rely mainly on their riffing of the tried and tested sludge and metal-core manifesto.

But unfortunately, its as if it is being done by a bunch of half pissed kids.

It..s a mixed bag of heavy metal stereotypes, making loud and clanking metal music for an audience of tone deaf teenagers and ageing bikers who stood to near the speakers at festivals gone by.

After four or five songs, I was tearing at my own face trying to find the energy to review the whole bloody record.

And, though it will definitely have people become fans of the noise they make, to me it was just noise.

Its sludgey, muddy bass rooted metal, with barely an original idea in its head.

I am not a fan.

If you dig EYE HATE GOD, BOLT THROWER and CROWBAR you will dig it, its not bad my any stretch of the imagination, but that..s half the problem, they used very little stretch of their own imaginations to make it, and its just been there, seen it all before rehash sounding metal..
